FREEMAN CEMETERY
Near Freeman Falls, & Old Freeman Furnace,
Mount Pleasant Township

This Cemetery is on a steep hillside on Pennsylvania Route connecting Route 31 at Acme with Route 180.
Per Mr. James G. Freeman, Caretaker July 12th, 1947, whose address is R. D. #1, Acme, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania:
"This plot of ground was used as a Burial Ground during the French and Indian War, and earlier than that period, as is found on teh oldest stone, which is inscribged "I. B. 1708?.  More than fifty bodies are buried in this old section, which graves are marked with stones moved from teh old Freeman Furnace, which stones bear no inscriptions.  Several Indian Skeletons have been removed from this burial spot, which skeletons can be seen in glass cases in the Fayette-Westmoreland Historical Building at West Overton, Pennsylvania.  Due to this old Burial Ground being situated on teh farm of my grandfather John Freeman, he and his wife, Nancy Freeman deeded the tract of land to the Trustees of the Freeman Grave Yard April 2, 1895.  A perpetual care fund is in the process of being raised, and a Charter for the Freeman Cemetery Association has been granted by the State of Pennsylvania."
